Last year was a learning curve for what an awards show looks in the middle of a pandemic. We’re still in the middle of that experimental period, really: For the first time, the Golden Globes—which usually occur in early January, but moved to February during The Great Awards Show Shuffle—are going bicoastal as hosting…

In the last spot of last night’s Nick Jonas-hosted Saturday Night Live—the place traditionally of the venerable series’ best and worst sketches—Kate McKinnon unexpectedly stole an adorable, mewling kitten’s milk, and that wasn’t even the best part. A funny approximation of what social interaction is going to look like…

The Zoom-ification of our daily lives—i.e., the blending of the private and the personal, enforced by the COVID-19 pandemic in a way that jams every aspect of ourselves into a single fuzzily buffered video window—has created some unquestionably strange moments over the last year or so. That’s rarely truer than in the…

Jimmy McGill has apparently found a way to keep his comeuppance from coming (for now, anyway) yet again. That’s because, per The Wrap, the sixth and final season of AMC’s Better Call Saul is now unlikely to appear on television in 2021. AMC CEO (WTF?) Josh Sapan dropped the bad news earlier this week, noting that the…

If you were watching NBC at 1:30 a.m. on Friday, you might have noticed a new face in the late-night network TV lineup. No, not Lilly Singh, whose A Little Late With Lilly Singh normally airs its Friday reruns at that time, but the other woman of color finally busting through the all-white, all-boys, many-Jimmys…

Good news tonight in the high-profile, big-name breaking story of the week that would be merely whimsical and silly and strange, except that a man got shot: Lady Gaga’s French bulldogs have now been found. As noted by People, the dogs—Koji and Gustav—were stolen from Gaga’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, on Wednesday…

Last spring, a chef figured out how to navigate COVID-19 capacity rules by filling his restaurant with a bunch of creepy mannequins. It’s almost a year later and, since we’re still dealing with the same pandemic that made the doll diners necessary in the first place, the restaurant industry’s had to escalate this…

Twin Peaks Day came and went earlier this week, but the show’s spirit, like an extra-dimensional terror with long grey hair and a jean jacket, never disappears for long. Consider, for instance, the effort that’s gone into The Woodlands Lodge, a tiny, squirrel and bird-friendly version of the red room created in the…

Some photographs are so ubiquitous that it’s hard to imagine they were taken by a regular, boring old human being before being used in product designs or advertising campaigns so huge that they’re impossible to avoid. One of these photos is the default background for Windows XP—a picture of a lush green hill and…

For his second remote interview segment on Thursday, Seth Meyers threw to an empty screen. Well, it was a nondescript kitchen, watched over only by a pair of vaguely unsettling paintings. Soon enough, however, Meyers was treated to the sight of eventually revealed guest and scene-stealing all-star Jason Mantzoukas,…

It’s like our grandpappy always told us, when he was out there spinnin’ yarns, deep down in his cups: Nobody ever went broke letting the American television viewing public look at serial killers getting caught. Hence a bit of data that we have to imagine the folks over at Netflix feel somewhat ambivalent about today,…

Further developments in the controversy surrounding the popular Reply All podcast, and its recent efforts to report on institutional and systemic racism at food magazine Bon Appetit, today, as host Alex Goldman issued a series of statements admitting that the show’s own issues with representation, reporting, and…

According to CNN, somebody shot Lady Gaga’s dog walker and stole her two French Bulldogs last night, with a “source close to the singer” saying she’s now offering a $500,000 reward for any information about the person who did it—”no questions asked.” The dog walker was reportedly taken to the hospital “in stable…

A 25-year old Kentucky woman named Leah Holland waited for two entire years before getting her forearm tattooed with a phrase she likes. Poor Holland, who’d already spent months and months considering the design, would’ve benefited from waiting just a few more days. Unfortunately, she’d didn’t and, two days before…

Wednesday’s A Little Late With Lilly Singh saw the late-night host tied to a chair in a filthy basement, screaming for help at the sight of one of those masked, menace-voiced murder types that horror franchises love so much. (Honestly, his knobbly white face mask was way too close to the Jigsaw puppet, but if you’re…

News today from TV-producer-who-also-happens-to-own-a-typewriter George R.R. Martin, who confirmed reports that he’s developing a new series at HBO, which is what George R.R. Martin does now, and not anything else you might be casually screaming into a pillow about him not doing. Specifically, Martin posted on his…

Charles Entertainment Cheese, the once mighty novelty entertainment restaurant King Of Kings, has fallen on hard times. His original form usurped by some redesigned CGI pretender and the once-wealthy lands he presided over now turned to fields of dust, the original Cheese has been left to molder in the minds of those…

Former Home Improvement star Zachery Ty Bryan was sentenced to probation on Tuesday after pleading guilty to two felony counts.

As HBO’s overwhelming docuseries Allen V. Farrow continues to cast an even darker shadow (if you can believe that) over Woody Allen’s legacy, the disgraced filmmaker’s publisher is threatening to take legal action against the cabler. According to the Los Angeles Times, Skyhorse Publishing—the imprint that took over…

PGA golf legend Tiger Woods has been transported to the hospital after his vehicle flipped in a car accident. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department released a statement on Twitter confirming the incident, which occurred on Tuesday morning. “On February 23, 2021, at approximately 7:12 AM, LASD responded to a…
